Roby

A couple years back, I took violin lessons. My teacher was Roby Deaton. I feel so blessed to have had him as my teacher. I can't explain what a wonderful soul this person has.

Anyway, he loves hiking in Colorado. One day he began seeking out music that expressed how he felt about the beautiful mountains but couldn't find anything that measured up. So, he wrote several pieces and compiled a CD. Below is my absolute favorite piece, called Pikes Peak. He actually taught me this piece and I can play it on my violin, too, just not was well as he. :)
